- Feeling Filmstalgic? This Ancient Film Canister Poster Will Quench Your Analog Thirst18 June 2013, 2:27 pm
If you, like me, love film and anything about film, here is a great way to show your film appreciation.
This film canister illustration poster by Peter Hamilton features some of the old and wonderful film canisters of all time: Kodak, Kodachrome, Ilford, Kalt and Ansco.
Here is the product description, looks pretty analogish to me: "This 8" x 10" illustration is printed digitally on a heavy-weight, archival watercolor paper. This is a great, original art print features my personal stockpile of...
- Will We Be Saying Good-bye To Traditional CCD and CMOS Sensors Anytime Soon?18 June 2013, 10:27 am
So, you probably read the news, two new sensor technologies were revealed this month, promising everything from flashless cameras (flash as in light popping device, not as in memory banks) to organic sensors that can one day overcome mankind.
While these are both revolutionary, I doubt we'll be seeing one of these in our cameras soon, the other one? not sure, may be a tad quicker.
Here is what I think about the new kids in town. Those, of course are my own thoughts, and if you think I am wrong,...
- How Long Can You Expose A Night Sky Before Getting Star Trails?18 June 2013, 9:47 am
When taking photographs of the night skies there is a simple way to avoid smearing the stars and getting them sharp. (As opposed to star trails which are awesome, but different).
It's called the rule of 600, which is astrophotography's equivalent to the 1/focal length of shooting hand held. Basically the rule says that you cannot shoot with a shutter speed of over 600/<focal length> in seconds. So when using a 600mm lens for example, you can only keep the shutter for 1 second before star t...

The Photocritic Photography Fundamentals series continues with dynamic range. No, we’re not talking about high dynamic range (HDR) photography here, we’re going back a step.

Show of hands, who knew that the cameras we use every day are named after a room?
The latin word for room is camera, which makes sense when you realize the first objects for recording light were cameras obscura.
And in this case instead of the room being the camera, the camera is in fact the light modifier. Read more »...

- Quick Hands-On: $100 "Polaroid" PL135 Bare-Bulb Flash10 June 2013, 1:17 pm
UPDATE: The Polaroid PL-135 (AKA the rebranded "Triopo TR120") has been unceremoniously pulled from the market just a week or so after it launched.
Has the venerable Sunpak 120J bare bulb flash been reincarnated? By a world-famous company, no less?
Well, no. Not exactly. It's no Sunpak 120J (doesn't have the extra stop of power) and, strictly speaking, it's not really a Polaroid flash per se. Keep reading for the bare facts (rimshot!) on the Polaroid PL-135.

Today I am excited to post my newest action, the CoffeeShop Portrait ToolBox 1.0. This action should be run on a SOOC (straight-out-of-camera) image that needs basic contrast/color adjustments. I also wanted to write an action that you could also use on portraits; so it smooths skin, brightens eyes, and adds a vignette. This is a great action if you want a simple clean edit and can be as subtle/over-the-top as you want.
